[V8] Suspension Refresh

Wed Oct 12 10:47:14 EDT 2005

did we (collectively) ever decide:

1) Correct H&R part number for V8 with UFOs
2) Correct H&R part number for V8 with G60s

and do we (KB or anywhere) have the correct part numbers for Koni 'yellows'?

How about a suspension part number page for the KB?  including make model part number and application?  I'll make the chart if those with mods will fill it in!  Of course I tried that with tires and no one filled it in... grumble...  but now people seem to be more actively using the KB.

Suspension rebuild in my future too, so...

Thanks,
John

I've got koni yellows set at full soft w/ h&r springs, and this setup is sweet. 
Not too harsh, and carves the sweepers and chicanes like buttah.

Hi All,

The suspension on my V8 is getting a little tired so I'm looking to bring some 
new life to it.  This is my daily driver and now has 190k on the clock - as it 
is a daily driver, I'm not necessarily looking to bring into rock hard racing 
shape!  :)

As part of the job, I'll have the springs replaced and am curious what some of 
you have used when you replaced them?

I'm not totally sure of everything that will need to be replaced, but assume it 
will include various bushings and potentially the wheel bearings as well.  It 
has also been brought to my attention that the strut mounts are dealer only and 
while pricey, really should be replaced.  It has been suggested to me that I 
could convert to the urS4 setup for an extra $40 or so and future changes will 
cost $40 instead of the $260 for the V8 specific ones - anyone have any 
experience or heard anything about this option?

Any thoughts, BTDT, or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Justin
